An informative, compassionate, and accessible guide to understanding children's grief at any age, which will help caregivers support grieving children after a loss.

From Dr. Corinne Masur, an award-winning clinical psychologist specializing in grief and mourning, comes an essential and important guide to understanding children's grief from within and guiding children through loss, from the death of a parent and other family members to the loss of friends, pets, and even the family home.

Dr. Masur describes how to understand, help, and guide children at every age and developmental stage, using her own experience of childhood loss through compassionate yet scientifically informed advice.

When Dr. Masur was fourteen years old, her father passed away. Like most children and adolescents facing loss, Masur didn't know how to manage her grief and wasn't encouraged to recognize or share her feelings with her family, teachers, or friends. Her experience of shock and emotional paralysis surrounding loss led her to become an expert in childhood grief to help grieving children and support others in helping the children in their lives who have experienced loss.

As a psychologist and child psychoanalyst, Dr. Masur has helped many children recognize and express their emotions after a loss. In How Children Grieve, Masur shares her expertise with caregivers of all kinds, giving them the tools they need to help a child or adolescent grieve, move on, and find meaning in a terrifying loss.
